Scientific name Aloe barbadensis

There are over 500 species of aloes in the globe. Aloes are succulents, whose fleshy leaves have a gel-like material, as well as the aloin compound. Aloe vera is the sole aloe that can be eaten.

Description

Be cautious when you are trying to identify this plant using images found on the web. I looked over the first set of images that appeared when I entered "aloe vera," and 31 of them were not aloe vera. Some of them weren't aloes!

Garden centers are also identified as having incorrect labels to ensure that you're taking the correct plant at home. Aloe vera shouldn't have a lengthy stem. The leaves should grow out from a central point. the plant should appear like an elongated fan with prickles on the edges of the leaves.

History

It is thought that aloe vera was first discovered in Sudan. The first mention of the herb was made in Egypt in a document dating from around 1500 B.C.E. known as the "Ebers Papyrus," which even called it "the plant of immortality."

It was also used in other ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Assyria, and Greece. Nowadays, it is a well-known medicinal plant in countries such as India, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Japan, and South Africa.

Uses

Below are a few of its therapeutic uses:

health of gums and teeth and fighting cavities when it is used in a mouthwash it will help to prevent plaque build-up and stop bleeding gums

Treatment for sunburn and moisturizing

heartburn

diabetes--it possibly makes blood sugar levels drop

relief of constipation -- it can reduce some of the symptoms of IBS. (IBS)

can help with psoriasis.

removing acne - you can apply the gel of plants on your skin or purchase products such as cleanser and toners with the gel in them.

Eliminating wrinkles, keeping your skin hydrated and improving its elasticity

Methods

You can purchase ready-made gels or creams at health stores as well as capsules which can be taken internally. You can also make use of the gel directly from the plant.

To make a nutritious aloe drink, blend two tablespoons of aloe gel in one cup of juice from a fruit or mix the aloe gel, water that has been filtered and the fruit of your preference in blender (your milkshake! ).

Making Your Own Aloe Vera Gel

1. Pick a plant at the very least several years old.

2. Take a leaf near the root of the plant.

3. Cleanse the leaf, then dry it.

4. Cut off the thorny edges using an abrasive knife.

5. The leaf is cut horizontally into pieces about 2-3 inches in thickness.

6. Peel off the skin. The thumb can do the job well.

7. Place the leaf's inner part into your herb blender with a small amount of water that has been filtered and mix until it is smooth.

8. Strain the mixture using a new cheesecloth or pantyhose to separate the pulp from the gel. Use the pantyhose or cheesecloth to squeeze all of the gel. You may need to add a little more water to the pantyhose's solids to make it thinner so that it doesn't strain through.

9. If you're not drinking the gel it is possible to include an essential oil such as peppermint, vitamin C or vitamin E oils, which can act as an ingredient to preserve the gel. You can then store the gel inside a sealable container in the refrigerator. Do not keep it for more than 2 weeks.

Precautions

Be aware that if you are using the aloe vera sap directly from the plant be sure you have an aloe vera that is suitable!

Utilizing aloe vera for long periods of time may be detrimental. Certain people may react to the sap when applied to the skin. Avoid using it on severe burns and wounds except taken as a suitable medication for the specific use.

Aloe vera is a natural laxative which are beneficial, however it is also able to cause diarrhea, which can be accompanied by abdominal cramps.

If you are sensitive to garlic, onions or tulips, they may be allergic to aloe sap too. Patients who suffer from kidney disease, heart issues, or intestinal problems should not consume it orally. Additionally, it shouldn't be taken more than two weeks prior to any surgical procedure. It could react with certain medications So always consult your physician prior to using this medication orally.

Children younger than 12 and pregnant or nursing mothers should not consume it orally.
